Fix for Galaxy S9 stuck in bootloop when updating to One UI

Samsung has begun rolling out the One UI Beta update for Galaxy S9/S9+ users who registered for the update via the Samsung Members or Samsung+ application.

Currently, the update is being pushed out in batches which is almost always the case for beta updates. The new update is arriving via an OTA update and is available in the US and South Korea as of now while users in Germany might be receiving the beta update within a day or two.

Fixing the problem might take a while depending on your internet connection since you would have to download a few files.
